Bond & Matrix

There were a couple of interesting previews last night before the move started. The most interesting were James Bond #20 “Die Another Day” and the two Matrix sequels. Aileen commented that the makeup artist for James Bond deserves an award. Pierce Brosnan just keeps looking younger and younger in these films. Also, Halle Berry as the next Bond girl? I just hope that this won’t be the kiss of death for her career, like what happened to a lot of these women (remember Teri Hatcher?).

I also don’t get what’s up with releasing the two Matrix sequels in the same year. Why don’t they just release one this year, then the other one next year? Seems kinda too closely spaced to me. Still, it looks extremely cool and I’ll be in line for that one when it comes out.

Some other previews we saw – Lilo & Stitch (looks promising, in the same vein as the Emperor’s New Groove), Men In Black 2 (looks like a can’t miss – Will Smith should just stick to movies like this instead of doing crap like Ali and Bagger Vance) and Austin Powers: Goldmember (looks horrid, like a joke that everyone’s heard a million times before).
